ABOUT

Scott Demel is an architect practicing in New York City.  Scott's architecture is committed to sustainable design and historic preservation while developing design and architectural solutions, both small and large, that are responsive to the contemporary conditions of life, work, and play.

Scott was raised in San Antonio, Texas and was fortunate to experience over 300 years of architectural and urban history, from Spanish Missions to regional mid-20th Century design.  He graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Architecture from Texas Tech University, where passive solar design and other sustainability issues were included in the curriculum and design studios.  Scott received a Master of Science in Historic Preservation from Columbia University, conducting thesis research on a design theory of architectural additions to historic structures.

Scott has worked on a wide variety of project types, ranging in scale and design discipline from house museums to urban planning.  At Jan Hird Pokorny Associates, Scott's projects included restoration of the Brooklyn Historical Society, the New Jersey State House Dome, and 17 Zong Shan Lu in Shangai, China.  At Rogers Marvel Architects, he has completed restoration projects at the Pratt Institute Main Library and School of Architecture, completed new construction of 14 Townhouses in Brooklyn, and urban design and streetscapes work at Battery Park City.  Scott is an Associate at Rogers Marvel Architects in New York City.

With the Association for Preservation Technology and as a recipient of a Stewardson Keefe LeBrun Travel Grant from the American Institute of Architects, Scott has traveled to Poland on two occasions to review current architecture and preservation projects.  Architectural and design work by Scott Demel has been recognized in a Van Alen Institute sponsored competition for a sun shelter on a Hudson River Pier, and by the National Art and Design Competition for Street Trees.   Scott has juried student work at Pratt Institute and the New Jersey Institute of Technology, and presented sustainability issues for Pratt Institute's continuing education programs.
